234 SOME CHINESE VERTEBRATES. 
PrrRoMys ALBO-RUFUS Milne Edwards. 
A trade skin of this beautiful flying squirrel was obtained by Mr. Zappey 
in the Province of Hupeh in 1907. It is identical in color with Milne Edwards’s 
fine plate 45 (Recherches hist. nat. mammiféres). 
FELIDAE. 
FELIS INGRAMI Bonhote. 
I have identified with this species a skin without skull obtained by Mr. 
Zappey at Changyanghsien, Hupeh, in January, 1909. In color it is similar to 
the specimen described by Bonhote (1903, p. 374) from the Wanchinshan Moun- 
tains in the neighboring province of Kweichow with which it further agrees in 
the shortness of the tail compared with the length of head and body. Bonhote 
gives for dimensions:— head and body, 480; tail, 200; hind foot, 75. Our skin 
measures (dried) much the same, except that the hind foot seems longer, but 
exact measurements are now impossible to obtain. 
Freuis scripta Milne Edwards. 
A skin of a fine male from Suifu, western Szechwan, agrees well with Milne 
Edwards’s figures and description of the type from the same province, in the 
principality of Moupin. 
FELIS PARDUS FONTANIERI (Milne Edwards). 
Two partially dressed leopard skins were obtained by Mr. Zappey from the 
King of Tachienlu, western Szechwan. These seem undoubtedly to represent 
Fontanier’s Leopard, described by Milne Edwards from the neighborhood of 
Pekin. The fur is thick and woolly, and the general color above is very pale, 
nearly buff-yellow of Ridgway, agreeing well with the plates in Milne Edward’s 
‘“‘Recherches.”” One of these skins measures approximately 1800 mm. from 
muzzle to tip of tail, and the tail alone measures about 760 mm.; in the second 
and larger skin these measurements are approximately 1950 mm. and 640 mm. 
Milne Edwards gives 1920 and 750 for these two measurements respectively. 
The black spots in our skins are apt to be somewhat brownish due to the 
length of the chocolate-colored bases of the hairs. In the larger specimen, 
the black areas on the back are somewhat confluent producing a very confused 
and mottled pattern.
